At this moment, Hamid, wearing a camouflage military uniform, was standing in the highland fortification on the southernmost side of the base, using a tripod-style high-powered telescope to look south.
Thirty kilometers is actually very far away, so ordinary telescopes can¡¯t see it at all, and this kind of high-power telescope can only see roughly, and the distance is too far, the lens distortion is serious, and seeing things is very uncomfortable.
However, he still saw the army advancing towards him in the distance from the scope of the telescope.
He was a bit puzzled, hadn't the government army been fighting those relatively large rebels recently? Why did you free your hand to come to yourself so quickly?
So, he immediately ordered his adjutant: "Go, quickly contact the secret sentry in front, prepare to release the drone immediately, and within five minutes, tell me their number and equipment!"
"Good Commander!"
Hamid's adjutant immediately turned and left, ran inside and used the radio to contact the secret whistle in front.
Soon, Anshao immediately released several civilian aerial photography drones bought from China.
This kind of ordinary drone, which only sells for a few thousand dollars in China, is nothing more than a toy for photographers and aerial photography enthusiasts in China, but in the Middle East, this thing has a very powerful strategic role.
First of all, it flies high. After a little modification, it can fly to a height of one or two kilometers. The image transmission can reach nearly ten kilometers in open areas, and the flying speed can reach sixty to seventy kilometers per hour. It is as big as a palm, and it goes up to the sky and flies to an altitude of hundreds of thousands of meters. It is invisible to the naked eye, and its flying noise cannot be heard. It is really suitable for battlefield reconnaissance.
If you are facing a modern army with advanced equipment, this thing is definitely useless, and it will be discovered and beaten down before it goes up.
But if you are facing an ordinary motorized army, then the opponent is really hard to defend.
Therefore, this drone is widely used in the military field in the Middle East.
As soon as a few drones took to the sky, the size of the enemy army was quickly detected.
The adjutant reported to Hamid: "Commander, the size of the opponent's army is about 8,000 people. There are ten armored vehicles, thirty-six towed howitzers, and more than sixty various transport trucks. The scouts in front Said it looked like a Russian-made 152mm towed howitzer."
"Damn!" Hamid cursed for a while: "It's the firepower of two artillery battalions! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to blow us up?!"
Just as he was talking, the deputy commander hurried in and said out of breath: "Commander, I just got the news that the government army hired 10,000 mercenaries from an overseas mercenary group called Wanlongdian. It is said that this Wan mercenaries are extremely powerful, and have conquered many anti-government armed forces one after another! Including Hafiz, who used to have a good relationship with us, was kidnapped two nights ago!"
Hamid was stunned: "What?! Hafiz was taken away? Why have I never heard of this?!"
The deputy commander said embarrassingly: "Everyone is scattered in the ravine, the information is not smooth, and we are working hard on infrastructure recently, how can we have time to take care of outside things"
Hamid hurriedly asked again: "What is the origin of the Wanlong Temple?"
The deputy commander explained: "Wanlongdian is a non-governmental mercenary organization that has emerged in recent years. They have multiple mercenary training bases around the world. Countries in the Middle East, Africa, and South America, where there are more turmoil, have their Traces, they have developed rapidly in the past few years, with 50,000 to 60,000 mercenaries registered under their command, and their comprehensive strength has now ranked among the top five mercenary organizations in the world!"
In this world, not every country or region is as peaceful and prosperous as China. Many areas are in constant war, so mercenaries are blooming everywhere in such places.
Most of the mercenaries are a bunch of desperadoes, they don¡¯t have any sense of justice, they only serve for money, and whoever gives money will work for them, and some mercenaries survive by relying on certain countries, such as the famous American Blackwater , They train a large number of mercenaries to serve the U.S. government. U.S. military operations in the Middle East are almost inseparable from the participation of Blackwater mercenaries, and some things that the government is inconvenient to do are done by them.
And this Wanlong Temple belongs to the first category.
After listening to the introduction of Wanlongdian, Hamid felt dizzy for a while, and blurted out, "Hiring ten thousand mercenaries from Wanlongdian will cost at least tens of millions of dollars a day, right?"
The deputy commander hurriedly said: "Commander, the price of Wanlong Temple is extremely high. Even ordinary mercenaries under their command cost one or two thousand dollars a day, and the price of officers is even higher. Some of them exceed tens of thousands of dollars a day. It is said thatThe four kings under their command, whoever comes out, will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day"
Hamid asked dumbfounded: "Really? Why is it so expensive?!"
The deputy commander explained: "The reason why Wanlongdian has been able to rise in the past few years is because of its super combat effectiveness. Their mercenaries are well-trained, especially the core members. All of them are top soldiers. The combat ability of soldiers, or the ability to cooperate as a whole, are the best among mercenaries, but the only problem is that the price is high, and most people really can't afford it."
Hamid frowned and said, "According to this calculation, the cost of 10,000 mercenaries will exceed 20 million US dollars a day?!"
"Yes." The deputy commander wiped off his sweat, and said nervously: "I also received news that this time one of the Four Great Warlords of the Wanlong Palace has come! It is said that this person can defeat a hundred with one on the battlefield!"
Hamid couldn't help shivering, and blurted out: "I don't understand the fuck, where did the government army get the money to hire so many mercenaries?"
The deputy commander explained: "The government army doesn't have so much money, but they are willing to allocate a piece of land in Syria for Wanlongdian and build a base for Wanlongdian after they wiped out the anti-government forces. That's why Wanlongdian is so active."
"Damnit's over" Hamid's heart was ashamed, and he was completely panicked.
He thought to himself: "If this information is true, there may be thousands of mercenaries from the Wanlong Palace in the army thirty kilometers away"
"Now in my hands, there are only a few thousand people in total, and the training level is far inferior to that of the top mercenaries, and the opponent has almost 8,000 people, and there are so many armored vehicles and towed artillery. Regardless of the number of soldiers and the level of training As far as weapons and equipment are concerned, my team doesn't have any advantages. If we really fight this time, there is basically no chance of winning"
Hamid, who was extremely nervous, suddenly remembered Ye Chen, so he immediately took out his satellite phone and called Ye Chen!
At this time, Ye Chen had just picked up Xiao Churan who came out of the Song Group, and was on his way to send her to the company.
He was also very surprised when he suddenly received a call from Hamid, so he asked, "Brother, why did you call me all of a sudden?"
Hamid said with a trembling voice: "Brother Ye, brother, my life is not long. If that Su Shoudao dies here, don't blame me!"
Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked: "What happened?!"
Hamid sighed: "The government army has hired a group of well-trained mercenaries from overseas, and has destroyed many armed forces with more troops than me in a short period of time. Now there is an army of more than 8,000 people only 1000 meters away from me. It's less than thirty kilometers away, I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it this time!"
